Stories that are bizarre, unusual, odd, astonishing and often incredible together with all manner of things paranormal, and futurist. There’s the woman who channeled Franz Liszt’s symphonies from beyond the grave, the man who sold the Brooklyn Bridge, the infamous Spring-Heeled Jack, the Chinese Chess-Playing Automaton Hoax, the day the English Channel caught fire and hundreds more bite-size pieces of the weird and wonderful. Illustrated with colour and black and white photographs and illustrations.
